"What 'that', please make it clear." Suddenly, Huang Zhen asked: "Your period hasn't come yet?" You Xiu nodded shyly. Huang Zhen was not a young boy who was just starting out. He was also knowledgeable in medicine and knew this.
What does it mean, "Approximately how long?"
"It's about ten days late."
"It's okay. Menstrual irregularities are common in women. Maybe you were too busy at work during this period, or maybe you ate cold food."
"I'm usually pretty accurate."
Huang Zhen pressed her pulse, and it turned out that she had a happy pulse. He had no idea for a moment, but he didn't expect that the separation of life and death was about to happen, and she would make such a fuss again!
Huang Zhen had no idea at this time. When he was in Huashan, he had married twice, but both died of illness and did not leave any children. He thought that he was probably a childless man and would be lonely in the future.
When he died, he also gave up the desire to continue, but he never expected that in this land of dragons and tigers' dens, not only would he find a gentle land, but now he would have good news.
In the past, it would have been a great thing, but tomorrow I will join the heroes who escaped from Dongmen City, escape into Li District, and try to leave Hainan Island. Even if there is someone to take care of me, I am afraid that I will escape death.
I know if I can escape successfully.
You Xiu saw that his face was solemn and his expression was gloomy. Not only did he not feel happy, but he showed a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment, and he burst into tears.
"You heartless person, do you dislike me and this child?" She was suddenly startled again, "You must have a wife and children at home! You deceived me so hard!" After saying this, she burst into tears.
Huang Zhen had no choice but to think that this was really a "bad fate". It didn't matter. Although life or death would be uncertain from tomorrow onwards, if he could leave a son and a half daughter, he would finally be able to leave a descendant for the Huang family.
Thinking of this, he comforted him gently: "How can I dislike it? I am a widower. I am empty at my knees. It's just that I own such a pharmacy and I have to support you, mother and son..."
"Why do I need you to support me?" You Xiu couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard what he said, "Brother Huang, don't worry, I know you are a trustworthy person, but your reputation is the most important thing in the world...
"
Huang Zhen secretly smiled bitterly, really thinking that You Xiu would use this opportunity to arrange a forced marriage. He thought that everything he said today was just a lie, so he could only say: "Don't worry about this. I will always give you a name."
"I know you are the most reliable person." You Xiu was full of joy and got into his arms, "It's late at night, let me serve the master in a different way tonight..."
While they were lingering in bed, a group of Japanese security forces silently entered Nanbao Town, and the final arrest was about to begin.
The white color of fish belly was already showing slightly in the east, and Zhuo Yifan and Sima Qiudao finally arrived at a hill near Nanbao.
Although under the influence of Kunthi's medicine, Zhuo Yifan was able to walk with support and did not show any symptoms of fever. However, he was bleeding too much and was weak in energy and energy. He stopped and walked along the way. He originally thought he could reach Nanbao late at night.
. He met Huang Zhen and the others. Unexpectedly, they barely managed to get here until the rooster crows.
Seeing that it was getting dark, it was very dangerous to enter the town rashly. They hid in the woods on a hill, not far from the town. There were several families at the foot of the mountain. The two went deep into the forest and saw that no one was around.
Sit under a tree and rest.
"Brother Zhuo, we should be out. There are no pursuers behind us. Just rest. After daybreak, I will go to the town to find Huang Zhen and the others, and we will try to escape together!"
Zhuo Yifan ran all night and his energy was so depleted that he could hardly speak. Sima Qiudao changed his medicine and gave him some dry food. Fortunately, he replenished water along the way so that he would not risk going out now.
Find water.
Sima Qiudao asked Zhuo Yifan to lie down and rest. He ran with Zhuo Yifan all the way and was very tired. Besides, it was too early now, so he leaned against a tree and took a nap.
In his trance, he seemed to hear a rustling sound, no! There was someone there. He immediately sat up with the knife in his hand. He looked up and saw a thin figure passing by more than ten steps away.
Sima Qiudao was horrified, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared without a trace. He jumped up, drew out the dagger in one hand, and rushed towards the direction where the figure disappeared!
Sima Qiudao's movement was extremely fast. With one leap, he had already knocked the person in front of him to the ground. He raised his dagger in his hand and forced the opponent's throat.
After taking a closer look, he saw that he was a boy in his early teens, with "breadlocked" hair, wearing a blue cloth double-breasted jacket, with a lot of mud stuck to his trouser legs, barefoot, and a pair of cloth shoes with strings hanging around his neck. He carried him with him.
There was also a canvas schoolbag. There was nothing on him except a crumpled student ID card.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Sima Qiudao asked in a low voice.
When the young man saw that the man in front of him had his hair cut to pieces, his clothes were full of mud, and he was holding a knife in his hand, he couldn't help but be frightened. He stammered and replied: "Pick some herbs before going to school - take them to town on the way.
For sale..."
Sima Qiudao saw that there were indeed some herbs in the small bamboo basket next to him, and asked: "Are you from Nanbao Town? How far is it from the town?"
The young man trembled and said: "I...I don't live in the town, but in the village at the foot of the mountain. It's less than a kilometer away from the town..."
"School - where do you go to school?"
"Nanbao Primary School... just opened recently. The little boy's family was poor and he couldn't afford to go to school at first. Later, a head of the school told him that he would pay nothing to go to junior high school. He would also be given a meal and a set of clothes." He begged again.
, "The small family is poor and has no money..."
At this time, Zhuo Yifan also woke up and came over and said, "Little brother, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. We don't want your money." As he spoke, he opened his schoolbag, and inside there was only a piece of sweet potato wrapped in a banana leaf.
In addition, they are all books and stationery: there are several "Australian style" bound books, notebooks, pencils, etc. They are all made of fine white paper, and the printing and binding are very beautiful. I can't imagine that I am a student who looks like a mud monkey.
Something useful.
Sima Qiudao let go of his hand and gestured in front of him with a dagger with one hand: "Sit still and don't talk nonsense, and I will save your life!"
The young man was so frightened that his whole body was like chaff. He could not speak and could only nod his head.
Zhuo Yifan whispered: "I want to know how Nan Bao is doing now."
"I know." Sima Qiudao whispered. Then he turned his head and asked, "Let me ask you, is there anything unusual in the town recently?"
"Abnormal?" The young man said blankly, "It's nothing... It's almost the same as before..."
"Are there many soldiers and businessmen here?"
"Do you have to do business?" The young man hesitated for a moment and suddenly understood, "You mean the police, right? No, I haven't seen many police coming recently."
"Kun Thief, um, leaders, have you sealed any stores and arrested anyone?"
The young man shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this..."
Sima Qiudao shook the dagger in his hand and threatened: "If you lie to me, I will kill you immediately!"
"Don't dare, don't dare," the young man shook his head repeatedly.
Sima Qiudao asked a few more questions and roughly knew that everything was normal in Nan Bao, that Huang's pharmacy was safe, and that Huang Zhen and the others were also fine. His mind was mostly settled.
"The drug store is fine. I will go into the town to contact Lao Huang. You are injured, and you should rest here. As for this child -" Sima Qiudao's eyes showed a fierce look, and he raised his dagger, preparing to kill him directly.
Zhuo Yifan whispered: "Brother Sima, you can't do it!"
"If we don't kill him, what should we do if he goes to report the news?"
"Brother Huang, you and I are both decent people. The purpose of coming here this time is to save the people. How can we kill innocent people indiscriminately and insult the family tradition? If so, wouldn't we be just like that thief? Besides, this is still a child!
"
"But--"
"We won't let him go. If we tie him up and leave him here, he won't be able to tell anyone. We'll be gone in a day or two, and it won't be a problem if he is rescued again."
"Okay." Sima Qiudao found it troublesome, but Zhuo Yifan's words were somewhat reasonable. He said, "Then you can rest here. I'll tie him up and go to town."
Immediately, he tied the boy up with his schoolbag straps, tidied up a little, and then went down the mountain to Nanbao.
Zhuo Yifan saw that the young man was in panic all day long, so he immediately comforted him: "Just rest assured, your life will not be ruined."
The young man nodded vigorously.
Zhuo Yifan slowly sat down against a tree and held the dagger in his hand. He was bored and asked, "What do you do at home?"
"The farmer used to be a tenant of a few acres of Mr. Zhou's land. Now he works as a long-term laborer on the farm..."
"He is also a son of a good family." Zhuo Yifan saw that he had a good appearance and clear articulation, and felt that he was not an ordinary ignorant villager, so he wanted to talk to him, "Since you are studying, why don't you find a private school and read the Four Books and Five Classics?
The evil book of the thief Kun?"
The young man said in confusion: "My family can't afford to pay for school. My family is very poor and we don't even have enough food to eat. If the chief hadn't said that there would be a meal supply, my family would not have let me go to school..."
Just for a meal, Zhuo Yifan secretly felt short of breath. He originally only wanted to relieve his boredom, but now he had the idea of taking him on the right path, and said: "Do you know that you studied in Kun Thief's school? The teachings of saints are all Australian heresies. What’s the use of reading them? It’s just illiteracy, but it’s better.”
"Heres and heresies?" It was obvious that the young man did not understand the term. He said timidly: "The only things taught in the chief's school are literacy, arithmetic and the like."
"It's said to be literate, but the skills I learned were in common Chinese characters, not traditional Chinese characters. If I were to take part in the imperial examination, I'm afraid I would be beaten out by the examiner immediately..." Zhuo Yifan felt a faint pain in his wound, "As for arithmetic, it is not tested in the imperial examination. Yes, your family is not engaged in business, so what's the use of learning this? Even if you can't study, you will be an honest farmer, and even if you are illiterate, it is the cornerstone of the imperial court. Why bother to go to the thieves' mud just to know a few words? Water..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
